Lenny - Name Your Own Adoption Fee!

Labrador Retriever

Male, Young

Jefferson, WI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

1 year old (estimated) Neutered male 47 lbs Has done well with other dogs in the shelter No known experience with cats or kids Lenny is an outgoing, social pup who loves everyone he meets. He’s full of energy and always ready for fun, whether he’s playing with his dog buddy, racing around the yard, or entertaining himself with toys. He’s learning his manners and knows both sit and down, and although he can jump like a kangaroo when excited, he settles quickly when asked. Lenny loves to play ball and will happily let you take it from him, and he’s just as delighted by sticks, often tossing them into the air for himself. His lively, affectionate personality makes him a great fit for an active home that can match his enthusiasm and give him plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and continue to grow. Lenny has been waiting a while to find his family so his adopter can name their own adoption fee when they take him home! The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.November 20, 2025, 2:52 pm
